About Bothan an Fhaoillich

A monthly session of Gaelic culture and community in Edinburgh, full of stories, songs, music, dance and good cràic! Each month a variety of performers will entertain, alongside the usual space for conversation and friendship.

January's session will feature bagpiper Ciar Milne and step dancer Eibhlin Milne, Gaelic singers Iona Mairead, Fiona Niccoinnich and Seumas Greumach, mc'd by poet Babs McGriogair

Bothan Dhùn Èideann are a not-for-profit group, active for over 21 years, promoting and developing Scottish Gaelic language and culture in Edinburgh and creating space where everyone, no matter their background, feels comfortable celebrating Gaelic in Edinburgh. These events are presented in Gaelic throughout and all are welcome whether fluent speakers, learners or somewhere in between.

~~~~~

Bidh Bothan a’ cumail oidhche shònraichte san Fhaoilleach mar phàirt de dh'Fhèill Chuimhneachaidh Iain MhicLeòid 2025.

‘S e buidheann neo-phrothaideach a th’ ann am Bothan (a tha a-nis 21 bliadhna a dh’aois) a bhios a’ brosnachadh agus a’ leasachadh cànan is cultar na Gàidhlig ann an Dùn Èideann tron chànan fhèin.

Tha a’ choimhearsnachd Ghàidhlig ann an Dùn Èideann measgaichte agus tha fàilte air a h-uile duine an cuid Gàidhlig a chleachdadh an seo, ge bith dè an ìre a th’ aca.

Mar as àbhaist, bidh tachartas an Fhaoillich fon chuspair ‘Gàidheil is Caraidean Còmhla’ agus mar sin bidh Ciar agus Eìbhlin Milne a’ tighinn a-nuas à Dùn Dèagh airson a’ phìob agus an dannsa-ceum a chluich le sàr sheinneadairean Gàidhlig agus Bean an taighe Babs NicGriogair à Leòdhas.
